The January Inventory Reset Every Bar Owner Needs for Better Cash Flow
Jan 12, 2026 Season 4 Episode 199
Chris Schneider, The Bar Business Coach

January slows down, but the inventory almost never does. 

After December, most bars are sitting on too much product, bad pars, and shelves that look fine until cash flow tells a different story.

In this episode, we break down how to reset your inventory so it matches the pace of your bar, not the December rush. 

We’ll show you where variances usually hide, what β€œnormal” actually looks like, and how small fixes can free up real cash fast.

If you want fewer panic orders, cleaner numbers, and more money in the bank during the slow season, this is the reset that matters.
